Source for 3-row V8 radiators

Postby 75Monzta » Tue May 23, 2017 7:10 pm

I found a company that will make the 3-row core to exact size for the Monza. If your tanks are good, this would be a great option for making it look like factory. I am calling them back tomorrow with exact dimensions of my original 1975 v8 radiator core along with my 1977 2 row and 1975 4cyl 2 row. I want to make sure they are all close enough to warrant one core made for all 75-80 to use.

How nice! Would you care to share the name of that radiator company with the forum?

I need to call them tomorrow with all the measurements he had me take vs "20 3/8 x 14 5/8 x 2". He wanted more info. They usually build Peterbuilt, Mac and big radiators but they have a master builder who can build anything so i wanted to have them say "definitely"
